What Causes Oily Skin in Summer?
Before talking about a few of the face packs for oily skin in summer that you can use, it is vital to understand what causes our skin to become oily in summer. Oily skin in the summer can be caused by several factors. One of the main factors is an increase in temperature and humidity, which can cause the sebaceous glands in the skin to produce more oil. The oil, also known as sebum, helps to keep the skin moisturised, but when it is produced in excess, it can cause the skin to appear oily and greasy.
Another factor that can contribute to oily skin in the summer is an increase in sweating. Sweat can mix with the oil on the skin, making it appear even more oily. Hormonal changes can also cause an increase in oil production and may contribute to oily skin during the summer months. Hormones play a big role in regulating oil production in the skin, so changes in hormones due to stress or other factors can cause an increase in oiliness.
Lastly, some people may find that certain products or skincare routines that work well for them in the colder months may not be as effective in the summer, leading to increased oiliness. For example, using heavy, oily moisturisers in the summer can make the skin feel greasier than it would without them.
To manage oily skin in the summer time, you can try using products formulated specifically for oily skin, such as mattifying moisturisers and oil-free sunscreens. It's also important to cleanse the skin regularly to remove excess oil and sweat, and to avoid using heavy makeup or skincare products. If you are looking for a new face cleanser, we suggest you try Pure Sense Natural Papaya Face Wash, enriched with Kakadu Plum and Moringa to remove the excess oil, cleanse your skin pores and give you naturally fresh and glowing skin.
Now that we know what causes oily skin in summer, let’s take a look at some of the glowing masks for oily skin.
